"My Puppy Pal"   by Joni Nickrent   copyright 2011

YAY! The color is complete and "My Puppy Pal"...a gift for the grad...will soon be on it's way to my Niece, Anna.  Not sure if it's what every Jr. High to High School graduate might expect or even want, but I'm hoping that she'll appreciate my efforts and a little extra that will accompany the Pop Art Mini! 

Here's a few more up close and personal shots of this big eyed cutie and her puppy pal!

 Ok, what next...hmmm...putting my creative thinking cap on and ready to roll on to  another sketch with pops of color! Any ideas?

Wishing you a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!

It's that time of year when graduations roll around and this year my Niece Anna is and at this posting has graduated from Jr. High!  She will now make that adventurous journey to High School...wonder if I should put out a warning! LOL  Ok, I'm sure things have changed ALOT since I graduated back in, on second thought, no need to share dates...I'll just share a quick sneak peek of my Pop Art Mini gift to the grad!  

 The Sketch

Her fave dog is the dachshund, perfect choice!

 And yes, I'm behind in getting this done, but I promise it will be on it's way before the weekend...ends! I've even started adding the "pops" of color.

And I couldn'ts resist sharing some of the sweet treat talents of my amazing sisters...Ami (graphic artist, extraordinaire...mom of the graduate) and Shari (all around creative guru!) No party is complete without the sweet treats. (I'm still waiting for my doggie bag to arrive in the mail!)
Oreo Cookie BonBons! YUMMY!

 Cream Cheese Mints...rich and delicious. 

And last but not least a little shout out to the GRAD!

Congratulations! Whoohooo! Hip! Hip! HOORAY!

A Pop Art Mini with a bit of a buzzzz...

A Bright Eyed Bumble And A Baby Bee   by Joni Nickrent   Copyright 2011

A bright eyed bumble and a baby bee

A little bit silly, but definitely the beeknees

They love to buzz...the talk of the town

Say Hi, hello if you see them around

Yellow and black they stand out in a crowd

And sometimes their buzz can get quite loud

But, you can bet they've got a smile for you

Yes, the bright eyed bumble and the baby bee too!

 A closer look...

The baby Bee...buzzzy and cute!

A bee's eye view...blue, it's true!

Have a Bee-utiful Day!
